Abstract: In a method of producing converting data, a first characteristic curve showing relationship between density value and exposure amount is obtained by forming images on a first photographic material with plural different amounts of exposure and by measuring density values of the formed images. Digital exposure amount data is determined so as to represent the exposure amount of the first characteristic curve. The first characteristic curve is modified so as to show relationship between the density value and the digital exposure amount data by changing the exposure amount to the digital exposure amount data. A second characteristic curve showing relationship between density value and digital input value for exposing means is obtaiend by forming images on a second photographic material by the exposure means based on plural different digital input values and by measuring density values of the formed images. Then, converting data to convert the digital exposure amount data into the digital input value are obtained based on the first characteristic curve and the second characteristic curve.

Abstract: In a radio communications system utilising a number of base-sites to provide coverage over a large geographical area a mobile radio will select the base-site to utilise from a set of available sites. The selection is based on the rate of decline of the signal strength thus enabling the rapid selection of the most appropriate base-site to use. This method is especially useful where there are zones of difficult reception such as tunnels.

Abstract: A method for analyzing automotive vehicle emissions wherein
significant engine events are detected and logged over a test period and are
applied to a model defining the emissions impact of such events to yield a
vehicle emissions estimate for the test period with a diagnostic for
diagnosing a deviation in performance of emissions control systems away
from an expected performance and for correcting the vehicle emissions
estimated to reflect the operating condition of the emissions control systems.
The corrected estimates are stored and/or indicated. The logging of the
events and the estimating, storing and indicating the emissions may be
carried out on-board the vehicle. Further estimating, storing and indicating
may be provided off-board the vehicle by downloading the logged events
and diagnostic information to an external analyzer.

Abstract: A folding hanger apparatus particularly useful in luggage has two central portions which
are hinged together a pivot between an open position and a closed position, and a hook
portion having a hinged connection to one of the central portions. Clothing placed upon
the hanger can be hung in an unfolded condition when the hanger is in the open position,
and the hanger can be folded to the closed position while clothing is hanging thereon so
that the clothing can be hung in a vertically folded position within a confined container
such as luggage. The hook pivots to a position pressed against the clothing to prevent
the clothing from sliding off the folded hanger. When the hanger is in the unfolded
position, the hook portion can be pivoted to an extended position to be used to hang the
hanger from a conventional closet rod. A pant loop is provided to permit pants and other
garments to be suspended from the bottom of the hanger. The pant loop is movable
from side to side to permit the loaded hanger to balance when in the unfolded position,
and to permit the hanger to pivot to the folded position. A useful trolley system within a
luggage case permits the hanger to be temporarily secured in the folded position within
the luggage case.

Abstract: A communication system which can establish a control link
between a radio base station (20) and a switchboard station (10),
without assigning beforehand any representative or proper
VPI / VCI to the radio base station which is to be newly
established. A switchboard station (10) transmits a cell which
includes a link establishment request signal to a newly
established radio base station. Therefore, the radio base (20)
station can receive the cell, regardless of the VPI / VCI
values , because a mask set up unit in the radio base station
sets mask approval, beforehand. Further, the radio base
station, after receiving the cell which includes a link
establishment request signal, stores the VPI / VCI values
included in that cell in a down cell header information
memory, and transmits a response signal.
